23 IHSA School Broadcasting Programs Named Elite and Select by the NFHS Network

August 14, 2017

The NFHS Network School Broadcast Program (SBP) makes it easy for students to produce live video broadcasts by providing the software, tools and training they need for free. With the NFHS Network’s proprietary technology, schools can produce and distribute high quality events throughout the year including regular season sports, graduation, band, cheer events, as well as other school activities.

Broadcasting these events on the NFHS Network is a great way for a school to showcase its students and activities while strengthening the connection with parents, players, boosters and the community. The platform allows both live streaming and archiving for on-demand viewing. Fans are able to watch events whenever they want, wherever they are. Becoming part of the NFHS Network School Broadcast Program is free and you can get started with as little as a camera, a laptop, and an Internet connection.

Over 100 Illinois high schools have taken advantage of this great program, but a few have risen the top when it comes to quality and production. The NFHS Network salutes the participating schools that have earned the honor of being recognized as Select and Elite Schools for the school year. Select Schools demonstrate excellent broadcasting skills, and Elite Schools not only have excellent broadcasting skills, but also excel in promoting their events and generating funds for their schools.
